Report: Jose Mourinho believes Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Japhet Tanganga will sign a new contract

The arrival of Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho at the North London club greatly influenced the decision of Belgian centre-back Toby Alderweireld to sign a new deal, and some other players could follow suit. While Christian Eriksen is determined to leave, Alderweireld’s defensive partner Jan Vertonghen has been tipped to agree to terms of a new deal. It remains to be seen if he would, but Mourinho expects one of his other defenders to put pen to paper on a new deal soon. The Portuguese revealed during his press conference today that Japhet Tanganga is very likely to sign a new deal, and it’s good news.
